Butternut Squash Bread Recipe

Yields1 Serving

Butternut squash is often referred to as a winter squash. It’s naturally sweet and high in both vitamin-A and beta-carotene. While the squash itself imparts little flavor to the bread it does make the bread extra moist and lends a light, orange color to the texture. We’re going to take it up a notch with the addition of pumpkin pie spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and brown sugar.

INGREDIENTS:

½ cup of milk at 110 degrees Fahrenheit or 43 degrees Celsius

¼ cup of butter melted

¼ teaspoon salt

¼ cup of brown sugar

½ teaspoon of cinnamon

½ teaspoon of nutmeg

½ teaspoon of ground cloves

½ cup of boiled butternut squash

1 egg

3 cups of flour

2 teaspoons of bread machine or active dry yeast

DIRECTIONS:

1

Add all of the ingredients to the bread pan in the order indicated in the ingredients section of the recipe.

2

Select the basic white setting for a 1.5-pound loaf and a medium crust.

3

When done, remove the loaf from the bread pan and let cool for 10 minutes.
